| Abstract: | • The flame retardancy of two Si/triazine-based flame retardants, phosphonate (direct bond) and phosphoramidate (nitrogen bridge), was investigated and compared in terms of their thermal behavior. • Phosphonate-based flame retardants demonstrated self-extinguishing behavior at lower concentrations compared to phosphoramidate. • Both flame retardants primarily function through condensed-phase mechanisms, with minor contributions from gas-phase activity. • Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations confirmed the decomposition pathways, ensuring alignment between experimental results and theoretical modeling. Phosphorus and nitrogen-containing flame retardants are well-known for their high efficacy when used in combination, either as separate compounds or within the same molecule. However, a detailed examination of the chemical bonding of phosphorus is needed to understand the flame behavior. To this end, two different scenarios were examined and compared with a phosphorus-free benchmark. Both scenarios contain a triazine ring and a silane-based precursor. The first scenario involves a direct bond between phosphorus and triazine (phosphonate), while the second involves a bridging of phosphorus and triazine via nitrogen (phosphoramidate). This allowed to investigate the structural effect of phosphoramidate and phosphonate of triazine derivatives on the thermal and flame retardant behavior. The flame-retardant performance and mechanism of the treated samples were investigated by means of the vertical flame test (DIN EN ISO 15025), thermogravimetric analysis and microscale combustion calorimetry, amongst others. Our research shows that triazine-based phosphonate has a better flame retarding effect on cotton than phosphoramidate at the same phosphorus concentration. Self-extinguishing characteristics was observed at a low add-on value of 0.23 mmol/g for phosphonate-based flame retardant, while a higher add-one value of 0.24 mmol/g was required in the case of phosphoramidate. The comprehensive analysis demonstrated that both flame retardants undergo mechanisms in both the gas phase and condensed phase by releasing incombustible gases and promoting the carbonization of cotton fabrics.
